“You are both in the core formation realm. Why is there such a big gap between you and Xiao Chenggan? The reason is very simple. Your golden core is not good enough. With your third-grade golden core, it is possible for you to advance to the nascent soul realm. However, in this life, there is no hope for you to reach the soul formation realm. Therefore, I should send you to the Green Dragon Sect. The environment there is stable and will help you with your cultivation. Also, I have a way to improve the quality of your core formation.”
“This…” Nalan Lengling moved the corners of her lips. The words of rejection were on the tip of her tongue, but she could not say it out loud.
With this, the problem between Lian Hua and Nalan Lengling was easily solved. As for Ping An, he did not have the final say.
In fact, Victor knew the two women’s personalities very well. Lian Hua was a little weak and did not have her own ideas. Therefore, when faced with Victor’s request, she usually would not refuse.
As for Nalan Lengling, she was very eager to excel. She was not willing to lag behind others. Victor had grasped this mentality of hers, which allowed him to persuade her to return.
“Lian Hua, Nalan Lengling, my speaking tone just now was too harsh, but this is the truth after all. Ask yourself, once I have a conflict with the Xiao family, you girls can do nothing but become my weakness. Therefore, returning to the Eastern Plains is the best choice. That was where I was born. It may not be absolutely safe, but with three nascent soul beast kings guarding it, it is better than following me and running around without a fixed home.”
“I understand the logic, but Victor, I…”
Lian Hua shook her head and bit her red lips with her pearly white teeth. In the end, she could not voice her thoughts.
“Lian Hua, don’t act like a child. It’s not like we’ll never see each other again. I just want you to stay there and wait for me. Can’t you do that?”
“It’s…It’s not that…”
“In that case, it’s settled then. We’ll set off at noon tomorrow. Before that, I’ll go and give Xiao Chenggan some trouble.”
Victor was very interested in the deal between the Central Plains Sect Alliance and the Xiao family. Victor hoped that the deal between them would not end before he returned from the Eastern Plains.
After calming the three of their emotions, Victor left the room and crushed a voice transmission talisman.
“Come and find me before noon tomorrow.”
With that, Victor’s figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
During the day, before Victor left, he left a soul imprint on Fu’er. As long as she was not the kind of trash that would be discarded after one use, Victor would be able to follow the imprint and find Xiao Chenggan and the others’ location.
As for whether the soul imprint would be exposed, Victor was not worried at all.
After all, that was a small trick taught to him by the mountain spirit. Ordinary people would not be able to discover it, not even the Xiao family of the Southern Plains, who were proficient in soul techniques!
Following the soul imprint, Victor finally located the Xiao family.
Activating his perception ability, Victor frowned.
The Xiao family actually valued Xiao Chenggan so much. Three nascent soul realm cultivators and nearly a hundred core formation realm cultivators. In this formation, it would be somewhat difficult to bother Xiao Chenggan.
Fortunately, it was not impossible.
With a concealed aura, Victor slowly approached, avoided their field of vision, and climbed over the wall into the courtyard.
As soon as he entered, Victor instantly sensed the aura of a nascent soul realm cultivator not far away from him.
Fortunately, the other party did not notice him.
Victor continuously approached the room where Xiao Chenggan was in and flew to the roof. Just as he lifted up a tile, he was suddenly forced back by an extremely powerful spiritual energy!
“Enemy attack!”
The nascent soul realm cultivator shouted and attracted everyone’s attention. At the same time, he waved his hand, and majestic spiritual power gushed out and smashed toward Victor!
Seeing this scene, Victor could only smash the roof with one punch and fall into Xiao Chenggan’s room!
In the room, Xiao Chenggan sat upright in front of the desk, as if he had expected this scene, he slowly opened his eyes.
“You came as expected.”
“You knew I was coming?”
“I found the soul imprint you left on Fu’er, so I expected you to follow.” As he spoke, Xiao Chenggan slowly stood up and sneered, “What do you want to do?”
‘F*ck! Mountain spirit, didn’t you say that it would not be discovered!’
Victor cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he was very calm.
“To not give such a low-level technique a disguise, did you discover it or did I leave it that way with the intention of letting you discover it?”
“Hehe, do you think that you have the strength to resist so many people?”
“Who said I wanted to fight them? Isn’t it enough if I can defeat you?”
As his voice fell, Victor waved his large hand, and the two figures instantly disappeared from the spot!
“Damn it! Where’s the young master?!”
“Chase him! He couldn’t have gotten far! If anything happens to the young master, none of us will survive!”
For a moment, the Xiao family disciples were in a mess. Fortunately, someone came out to take charge at the critical moment.
“All of you, be quiet!” A nascent soul realm cultivator shouted, and a fierce look flashed through his turbid eyes.
“The young master was taken into the Small World by that person, and no one outside can interfere with the Small World. So, what you need to do is to stay here obediently and stay on guard. Once you find the young master, immediately take action!”
“Yes!”
Everyone agreed and finally regained their calm.
However, that nascent soul elder was like a stone statue. He did not move for a long time before he finally regained his senses. He wrote a letter and sent a voice transmission back to the Xiao family.
“Family head, Feng Jiu’s Small World has appeared. It is suspected to have been refined by someone.”
At the same time, in the Small World.
Xiao Chenggan naturally understood Victor’s methods. He raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, “If I’m not mistaken, this is Feng Jiu’s Small World?”
“Correct.”
“Hehe, I didn’t expect that out of so many people that were present at the Fallen Phoenix Hill, you were the one who took the Small World away. I’m really surprised.”
At this moment, Xiao Chenggan completely changed his perception of Victor and put away his disdain.
After all, in this Small World, unless it was a nascent soul realm expert, no one in the same realm was Victor’s match!
“What do you want? Regarding Lian Hua’s matter, I’ve already backed down and given you an answer,” said Xiao Chenggan while he looked at Victor with extreme vigilance.
It was not an exaggeration to say that as long as Victor wanted, he could torture and kill him at any time!
After all, Victor was the master of this world!
“Don’t worry, I don’t want to kill you, nor do I want to become enemies with the Xiao family. I just want to know, what is the reason behind your willingness to help the Central Plains Sect Alliance establish a Dao in the Northern Plains? What benefits did they give you?”
“This is a family secret. Do you think I will tell you?”
“Of course you can choose to refuse. However, tomorrow my ranking will jump to the 11th place. As for you, the Xiao family’s heir, you will only be a stepping stone for me.”
Xiao Chenggan was a smart man. Victor believed that he would make the right choice, and the truth did not exceed Victor’s prediction.
